One Genocide Does Not Justify Another
Holocaust museum pulls post over Gaza uproar
An Instagram post declaring that the slogan ‘Never Again’ must apply to all people reportedly upset Jewish groups

A Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles has deleted a social media post featuring a slogan long associated with the Holocaust after some people claimed it alluded to the war in Gaza.
The message, shared with the Holocaust Museum Los Angeles’ 24,000 Instagram followers over the weekend, showed a graphic of hands and forearms of different skin tones – including one with a Holocaust tattoo – linked in a circle. Its caption read “‘Never Again’ can’t only mean never again for Jews.”
While some initially praised the post as an acknowledgment of Palestinian suffering, it quickly drew backlash from Jewish groups, prompting its removal.
The museum later said the post was part of a pre-planned campaign “intended to promote inclusivity and community,” not “a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East.”
Although the post did not mention Gaza, some pro-Israel commentators urged donors to cut the institution’s funding. The removal of the post, in turn, led pro-Palestinian voices to accuse the museum of backtracking on a universal anti-genocide principle.
The LA museum, founded in 1961 by Holocaust survivors, is currently closed for renovation until June 2026. It has pledged to “do better” and ensure that posts in the future are “more thoughtfully designed.”
The controversy comes as Israel presses its military campaign in Gaza, which was launched after Hamas’s deadly October 2023 incursion that killed around 1,200 people and saw more than 250 taken hostage. About 50 are still believed to be in captivity. Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israeli strikes have since killed over 64,000 people and wounded over 163,000 since the operation began.
UN agencies have reported “mounting evidence” of famine in Gaza and there has been growing international criticism of Israel’s campaign as genocidal. Several Western nations announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state and scale back military or trade cooperation with Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that Gaza’s population could have been wiped out within hours if genocide had been the goal.

The Soviet people were also subject to Nazi genocide, but Russia doesn’t have carte blanche in the global arena, he says
The Soviet people were also subject to Nazi genocide, but Russia doesn’t have carte blanche in the global arena, he says Israel should not think that the suffering of Jews during World War II gives it free rein in foreign policy, particularly when it comes to the hostilities in Gaza, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Speaking at a press conference on the results of Moscow’s diplomacy in 2023 on Thursday, Lavrov reiterated his support for the creation of a Palestinian state.
The decades-long failure to do this is one of the key reasons for the current instability in the Middle East and tensions between Palestinians and Israelis, he added.
The foreign minister noted that Russia had immediately condemned the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7. However, after the hostilities began, some Israeli officials went so far as to call the residents of Gaza “animals” without facing any backlash from the West, he added. Lavrov added that the Soviet people had suffered no less as they were exterminated in the same Nazi concentration camps as the Jews, with both people dying from starvation side-by-side in besieged Leningrad.
“According to this logic, we can do whatever we want. That won’t work if we want to systematically uphold international law,” he added. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, with the ensuing fighting killing more than 1,200 Israelis and 24,000 Palestinians. Since then, Israel started a ground operation in the Palestinian enclave, which has caused unprecedented destruction.
It has vowed not to stop until Hamas is completely defeated and Palestinian society “deradicalized.” Russia has repeatedly called on the two sides to agree to a ceasefire while urging Israel not to forget the laws of war. The Holocaust claimed the lives of around six million Jews in Europe.
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union lost some 27 million people during the war, including many Jews, with two-thirds of those losses among the civilian population.
The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering
Controversial indictment of those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own gain.
In an iconoclastic and controversial study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements. It was not until the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, when Israel's evident strength brought it into line with US foreign policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional prominence it enjoys today. Leaders of America's Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major strategic asset and, Finkelstein contends, exploited the Holocaust to enhance this newfound status. Their subsequent interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with actual historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters. Recalling Holocaust fraudsters such as Jerzy Kosinski and Binjamin Wilkomirski, as well as the demagogic constructions of writers like Daniel Goldhagen, Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism's victims comes not from the distortions of Holocaust deniers but from prominent, self-proclaimed guardians of Holocaust memory. Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, he exposes the double shakedown of European countries as well as legitimate Jewish claimants, and concludes that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket. Thoroughly researched and closely argued, The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed.
In a devastating new postscript to this best-selling book, Norman G. Finkelstein documents the Holocaust industry's scandalous cover-up of the blackmail of Swiss banks, and in a new appendix demolishes an influential apologia for the Holocaust industry.

Now Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has admitted exactly what the purpose of this plan is.
The Israeli newspaper Times of Israel reported that Smotrich told a group of West Bank settlers last Thursday that “Gaza will be totally destroyed” and “The population of Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards,” saying “the rest of the Strip will be empty.”
He went on to say “The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”
He also stated that the Netanyahu regime will annex the West Bank next. The paper reported, “Asked about steps to annex the West Bank, the finance minister says, “It will happen this term. It is one of our most important challenges. We are at a historic opportunity.”
